Books I’ve Been Reading

January 14, 2016 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

Lots of travelling always means lots of reading! What better way to spend long train journeys?

Buy The Last UnicornThe Last Unicorn is a classic. If Patrick Rothfuss says it’s the best book he has ever read, you know it’s worth looking out for.

Title The Last Unicorn
Author Peter S. Beagle
Genre Classic/Fantasy/Fairy Tale
Rating (out of 5) 5
Age-group 10+

Buy Prisoner of the Inquisition

Among the most powerful books I have ever read, I now know that Theresa Breslin is an author I want to read more of!

Title Prisoner of the Inquisition
Author Theresa Breslin
Genre YA/Historical Fiction
Rating (out of 5) 5
Age-group 13+

Travelling BackwardsI picked up this one because I was sure that a book called Travelling Backwards written by a person called Toby Forward had to be entertaining, at the very least. I was not disappointed.

Title Travelling Backwards
Author Toby Forward
Genre Fantasy/Magic
Rating (out of 5) 4

Tumtum and Nutmeg

Tumtum and Nutmeg: The First Adventure reminded me of an Enid Blyton story! I devoured it the way I used to devour Enid Blyton not so long ago.

Title Tumtum and Nutmeg:The First Adventure
Author Emily Bearn
Genre Animal Stories
Rating (out of 5) 4
Age-group 8+

These are the ones that stay with me: I know these are authors I will keep a lookout for!
